DVD Review

Ralph Dewey is back with his sixth instructional Video in DVD format and he's showing everyone he was "Born to Twist".

This is a great intermediate video starting with a simple one balloon Frog and progressing on to a multi balloon Mini Bike. He then goes on to teach his Saxophone which was featured on Balloon HQ in one of his many monthly columns but seeing it on the screen gives it a whole new meaning. The Helicopter with a Pilot is a huge table-sized sculpture that is one of the best uses for the Blush 6" Heart and is my favorite sculpture on this DVD. The Spider Like Man is another of his BHQ Columns that showed up on this DVD but he goes a step further and shows how to make it into a Devil. The Bug Eyed Spider and the Lil Red Bird were both in different issues of "Balloon Magic" but it's nice to see their creator make them. The Excalibur Sword is the best sword ever and the Black Duck is just amazing. The Vulture is this DVD's figure to make, its the most detailed figure on the DVD yet so simple once you see how it's done. Last but not least is his Race Car, you can use any 5" imprint for this one but I like to use the Blush 6" Heart like on the Helicopter with a Pilot. All in all you need to buy this DVD no matter what level twister you are because you will learn something new from the master.
